I was just wondering a rather simple question actually. This isn't a question of money, potential ridership or political realities which are a whole different area. I was just wondering what the schedule was for the old Canadian between Toronto and how many sets of equipment would be required to protect tri-weekly service between Toronto and Calgary on the pre-1990 schedule. And I'm talking about terminating in Calgary, not going all the way through to Vancouver.
I'm guessing that it would take 5 sets, but I don't know for 100% certain. That's 2 sets on the Eastbound runs and 2 sets making westbound trips plus one set in rotation for maintenance. This route would be CP all the way Toronto - Sudbury - Thunder Bay - Capreol - Winnipeg - Regina - Calgary.
